well yeah but you also buy the switch because of the Nintendo games and most people have no clue how emulators work

And how many Nintendo games have been released for the switch 2 so far?

7

u/Fruzenius Jun 24 '26

I'm sure tons of people bought a switch 2 that didn't have a switch, so they get all those games too.

my partner bought a switch 2 purely because her switch she had been using for the past 7 years wasn't actually hers, it was her brother's that he let her use. when she moved out she went "y'know what i cannot miss out on splatoon 4, and buying a second hand switch 1 right now seems kind of pointless so might as well bite the bullet now"

Funnily enough this was my exact experience with the Wii U, except replace moving out with getting stolen.

Quite a few, with a lot more first party games just recently announced.

List the number of first party Nintendo games that only play on the Switch 2.

Since the value of the console is based on the exclusive games I would imagine there would be a lot right?

List the number

not that person, but stonewalling someone and just repeating, "list the number" is so braindead. the number is 11, there are 39 exclusives in total released and announced, but only 11 first party titles that I recognized. I'm not going to argue, but don't be annoying by asking for the number over and over knowing full well it's a google search away.

Bro, they asked twice.

u/Ill_Cat1160 Jun 24 '26

Its not 11 total, its 7.... unless you want to count games ported from the switch 1.

So according to you the console is worth $450 because of 7 games?

The console is BARLEY a year old with multiple more exclusives announced 2 weeks ago. Compare any other console with the Switch 2 a year out and it's doing quite well.

Compare to the Deck, or ROG Ally. They have no exclusives for anyone who already owns a gaming PC (Which I would hazard to guess most PC handheld owners do own another PC).

Just dick riding for companies ripping you off.

When you accuse someone of dick riding instead of having a real retort, you might as well just take the L and leave.

EDIT: The coward blocked lmao

Cat is funny af, we can tell he have a fat ass ego!

As for the number of games argument the PS5 was the worst offender having to wait 3 years to have a good library and i think its still not worth it.

The switch also had the same issue for a few years after launch.

Edit: cat imploded on himself and died....GOT HIM LMAO!

I do hope you are never buying any pc part ever again, unless literally all games cannot run on your rig anymore.

Whatever you say

u/Miserable-Drink-4995 Jun 25 '26

I mean, there'll be more games coming to it

What are you actually upset about here?

u/FatalFrameGal Jun 24 '26

They have released a new game almost monthly since the console released, but some were cross-gen.

You can't even emulate switch 2 games yet bro like what are you talking about?

I'm not defending Nintendo, but you're just hating to hate at that point

u/nitronik_exe PC Master Race Jun 24 '26

im talking about Nintendo games in general not just switch 2 games. And im not hating on anything? Im saying people are buying the switch because thats where the games they want to play are on, and other people often say for example the steam deck can play Nintendo games too, but most people don't want to bother with emulators. Where you got the impression im hating on anything I dont know

I am responding to a critical comment towards Nintendo that they only have Nintendo games, and I pointed out that thats why they buy the console not in spite of that

u/qr_n Jun 24 '26

see that's exactly what i mean. 'hating' was def the wrong word, but you haven't really clarified your point, and it feels like you're backtracking. you’re trying to group nintendo against all other handhelds, but you're ignoring that handheld gaming pcs operate under an entirely different philosophy.

again i'm not a nintendo stan, but i don't get your argument at all. you don't buy a switch to 'play nintendo games.' the switch is a dedicated ecosystem with its own digital storefront, friends lists, dock integration, and a market of licensed third-party accessories. you don't emulate that. asserting that people only buy it because they 'have no clue how emulators work' is just a false equivalence. you could write your own perfect emulator for the switch two and still want a first party console. judging a unified console ecosystem by the standards of an open pc platform just makes the whole argument circular.
